    1. Hello,

       

      The ISA on the left is an 4-vein unmarked Sohni Heubach & Co. and is made of zinc with a broken catch.

       

      The one on the right is attributed to the firm of Otto Schickle and is made of tombak.

      The Schickle is an early war variant with the hollow S.H.u.Co being produced later in 1943-44.

       

      Here are two from my collection to compare.

    2. Hello.

      Thank for replies. Honestly as You all mentioned, the mountain troops badge is a very strange one. Ive google internet and search some books and still I havent found it. Any ideal if its really a fake or perhaps some unknown type? Please gimme any idea.

      Concerning a new piece of art:

      I bet copy, because of the base clip, what do you think??

      Hello

      Concerning your IAB...your intuition is correct and this one is a fake often found on the re-enactor sites.

      It is patterned after the ShuCo / ShuCo Design family of IAB's and has been aged to give it that "been there" look.

      Here is what they look like prior to the aging technique.

    3. Hello Markus

      The infantry Assault Badge is attributed to the maker Friedrich Linden, Lüdenscheid. This hollow is one of two zinc based hollows in the FLL line of IAB's.

      It is also considered the later of the two hollow zinc examples; progression has been determined by the hardware used on this IAB.

      In looking at the catch, it was specifically made for a zinc solid having a hole for a type of "rivet / crimp" attachment method.

      One can see this catch was designed for a solid and not this hollow. Because of this, the argument can be made that this hollow must have followed the solid zinc examples using this hardware.

      Here is a solid I have to compare.

      The IAB Doc is the most commonly encountered but it has nice stamps and is in good condition.

      Best Regards, fischer
